The PC ecosystem thrives because it is based on continual improvement. As a pertinent case in point, compared to 10 years ago, the compute performance available from the latest slew of CPUs and GPUs is unrecognisable.

Personal Computers (PCs) connect up to peripherals and displays through myriad of cabling. Some of those names and standards will be familiar to you, such as USB or HDMI, others may not, and these can include standards such as Thunderbolt and DisplayPort. The purpose of this TekSpek is to illuminate and educate users into the different types of cables and standards used in the PC ecosystem.

You've probably read the USB Tekspek, and perhaps your intrigue, or product interest, has lead you to look up Firewire as well. The two are similar in some respects, particularly some of the products that use the two technologies. However, Firewire has its differences, which means it has both benefits and drawback when compared to USB. This Tekspek will look at Firewire and also look at it with respect to USB.

Good product and works as expectedI got this to connect my MacBook Pro Retina (Early 2013) to an iMac (Mid 2011) to use it as a second monitor. When you find the key combination on the iMac (Cmd + F2), then it works well.
It also works for target disk mode to transfer files between Macs. I would recommend this if you have an old iMac you don't use - it's cheaper than a second monitor.
The only thing I would say is that 1m is not very long and the 2m version may be worth it - because the thunderbolt / mini-display ports are not always in the most convenient place!
